RAAC Headteacher

HT of a RAAC school Aug ‘23 & parent of two at schools with none (yet -🤞). Concerned for the safety of all.

⚠️ How far from identifying all #RAAC are we? ⚠️

How many surveys have been conducted? How many are left to do? When does sampling start?

@SchoolsWeek Like there haven’t already been cuts for years before this. Absolutely clueless and offensive.

[John Sharp 👨‍🏫🌻 @johnesharp]

Is it perverse that closing schools as a precautionary measure appears to be a bigger story than an actual ceiling collapse?

Poor building standards cannot be allowed to be a background issue. It’s dangerous, wastes budgets and inhibits progress. #edutwitter

Investigation after school ceiling collapses https://t.co/apERxXuVgj

[RAAC Headteacher @HTontheRAAC]

Not a Tory supporter, but not every RAAC school would have been rebuilt under the scheme. Trust me.

How appalling for the staff, children and community. https://t.co/C1Uvb2MfhH

To show the balance of responsibilities, I think buildings, staffing numbers, finances etc should be on a @educationgovuk @Ofstednews scorecard. Driving up standards has to be met by government in its responsibilities. @bphillipsonMP

Another vital community theatre to be demolished because of RAAC - the Motherwell theatre and concert hall following the beloved Brunton in Musselburgh

Some Aberdeen residents whose homes are set to be demolished due to the presence of the collapse-risk concrete #RAAC say they’ve been told their properties are now worth around £50,000 less than their original value. I’ll have more on this on @bbcradioscot from 8.35am. #bbcgms

@bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP Not all schools with RAAC were anywhere near the BSF list. There remains ~15,000 schools from the 50s, 60s, 70s which all need to be rebuilt ASAP to stop the drainage of money from teaching and learning, provide comfort and inspiration to children and staff and for net zero.
